Hi

Maybe I wrote about that already, perhaps I didn't get any answer:

How can I fail with _only_ a nice message? - I don't want any
backtrace,... (nice output!)

thanks Opti

Quoting Die Optimisten (inform@die-optimisten.net):

How can I fail with _only_ a nice message? - I don't want any
backtrace,... (nice output!)

If you fail, you must have a sufficiently alarming message, including
backtrace. It is of course possible to trap errors at any point aqnd
make them disappear with something like

begin
  action
rescue
  puts("Nice output")
end

but I would never suggest this approach. What you seem to have
are acceptable conditions where different outcomes may be expected. In
this case, I would properly code the various outcomes, not use
exceptions.
